When preparing homemade pancakes, you have to remember about few things. First of all, do not over mix the batter, as it strengthens the gluten in the flour and makes the pancakes tougher. Secondly, when the batter is ready to cook, let it rest for few minutes to allow baking powder and baking soda to perform their magic. This will make pancakes lighter. Remember that the batter should not be runny, it should be fairly thick. The perfect batter is when you can pour it onto the frying pan and not move much. Here is the recipe for homemade gingerbread pancakes:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup buttermilk
3 eggs
1/2 cup water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup brewed coffee
1 tablespoon ginger
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves
How to make homemade gingerbread pancakes:
In one bowl, stir together eggs, sugar, buttermilk, water and coffee. Take a separate bowl and combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and ground cloves. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture, mix together and add melted butter. Again, mix. Remember not to over mix the batter.
Take a frying pan or a griddle and grease it with oil. Pour ¼ cup of the batter onto the frying pan, cook on one side for about 2-3 minutes, then flip over and cook again for about two minutes.
Serve your homemade pancakes warm and with desired syrup.
